Only to transfer information mostly about trivia and meeting dates is what
I see in my clients. Often I see people confusing transfer of information
with communication and understanding, just like with memos.

Knowledge can not be stored, only information can be stored. Knowledge has
to do with ability and willingness to use information.

If a company values anything more than its' customer, it will lose the
customer.
The irony of that, if it is profitability, market share, security, teams,
learning or philanthropy that it values more it will lose the opportunity
for these too.
